No Hugs Till Saturday — Julie Downing

When Felix gets in trouble for playing ball in the house, his mother takes the ball away for the rest of the day. So Felix decides to take something away from his mother?hugs. ?No hugs till Saturday!” he declares. But then Felix finds out Saturday is a whole week away, and both he and Mama soon realize that just one day without a hug can be a very long time.
This is a terrific way to introduce young children to the names and order of the days of the week, and Julie Downing's wonderfully expressive dragon characters capture all the tenderness, humor, and everyday drama of life with a preschooler.
